Swing Bout
Toni Gale’s (Ciara Berkeley) burning ambition to be a boxing champion could progress or fall on whether invited into the ring on a major, televised fight card. As she waits in the dressing room, broke, frustrated and irritated by the confrontational fighters around her, her manager Emma (Sinead O'Riordan) takes on shady promoters the Casey brothers (Ben Condron and Frank Prendergast). A gripping, tangled web of corruption evolves over the course of an evening, involving a betting scandal, casual misogyny, murder accusations and a fight for life. Filmmaker Maurice O’Carroll delivers a breathless drama exposing the immorality, disillusionment, fear and opportunity for greatness that drives the modern fight game.
